Ravens LT Bryant McKinnie's new two-year contract includes weight clauses.
As has become customary in the 34-year-old tackle's deals. McKinnie's contract, which is worth up to $7 million, also includes annual workout bonuses. Provided he stays in shape, McKinnie will open 2013 on the blindside, leaving Michael Oher at right tackle and kicking Kelechi Osemele inside to left guard. May 6 - 8:46 AM

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

Ravens agreed to terms with LT Bryant McKinnie on a two-year contract worth up to $7 million.

McKinnie weighed offers from the Dolphins and Chargers, but the Ravens were lurking in the tall grass and found a way to get the 34-year-old back under contract. It's just another strong signing for GM Ozzie Newsome, who's rebounded from a slow start to the offseason with a flurry of fantastic maneuvers. San Diego could turn to free agent Max Starks, while Miami is likely to roll with Jonathan Martin at left tackle. The Ravens' offensive line shapes up like this: LT McKinnie, LG Kelechi Osemele, C Gino Gradkowski, RG Marshal Yanda, and RT Michael Oher.

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

A source tells the Baltimore Sun that free agent LT Bryant McKinnie is weighing offers from both the Chargers and Dolphins.

McKinnie holds all the leverage here. Both teams are desperate for left tackle help in a barren market and at age 34, he's likely land with the highest bidder. As of April 22, the Dolphins had $9.2M of cap space while the Chargers had $6.2M left. The Cowboys are even getting involved late, as they've reportedly made an inquiry. McKinnie would presumably play right tackle in Dallas as Tyron Smith is locked in on the left side.

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero reports the Dolphins are open to signing free agent LT Bryant McKinnie and a veteran right tackle.

Sure, why not. The Dolphins have made a habit out of being unpredictable this offseason, but it would be quite something for GM Jeff Ireland to sign two veteran tackles after spending much of the offseason talking up second-year pro Jonathan Martin. In this scenario, the veteran right tackle — which would likely be one of Eric Winston, Tyson Clabo or Winston Justice — would presumably serve as a swing tackle, though it's getting harder to predict what Ireland might do next.

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

The Chargers have made free agent LT Bryant McKinnie an offer, but negotiations are "ongoing."

It appears the sides are closing in on a deal. The Ravens and Dolphins remain in pursuit, but they'll have to pony up to get McKinnie to leave San Diego without a contract. It's all about coin for a player entering the final stages of his NFL career.

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

The Baltimore Sun reports free agent LT Bryant McKinnie is "talking" with the Chargers and Dolphins, but that the Ravens "remain a possibility."

The U-T San Diego believes there's a "very good chance" McKinnie signs with the Chargers, but the Dolphins and Ravens haven't given up on the top remaining free-agent tackle. McKinnie should have a new home by the end of the week.

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

The Union-Tribune San Diego's Kevin Acee believes there's a "very good chance" the Chargers sign free agent LT Bryant McKinnie.

The sides had dinner Tuesday, and McKinnie will take a physical on Wednesday. It's unknown if contract terms have been discussed. McKinnie would be the dictionary definition of a stopgap option in San Diego, but even going on 34, he brings more to the table than King Dunlap or Mike Harris.

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

The Chargers and free agent LT Bryant McKinnie had not discussed contract numbers as of Tuesday night.

Per the Union-Tribune, McKinnie had a "very good" visit on Tuesday. He met with Chargers brass, was treated to a dinner and will continue the visit Wednesday with a physical. As long as McKinnie is in shape and motivated, he'd be an excellent fit in San Diego. They're desperate for a talent infusion on one of the league's worst offensive lines.

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

Chargers GM Tom Telesco confirms he's "exploring" signing free agent LT Bryant McKinnie.

The Bolts are left with just King Dunlap and Mike Harris on the blindside after jettisoning Jared Gaither, and would be a strong match for McKinnie if the price is right. After the Gaither debacle, however, they'd certainly want to be positive that McKinnie is serious about staying in shape going into his age-34 season.

The Ravens "continue to talk" to free agent LT Bryant McKinnie.

The sides have been in constant contact, but don't appear close to a deal. McKinnie is visiting the Dolphins and Chargers this week, but isn't considered overly likely to sign with either club. As is the case with all unsigned veteran free agents, the sooner McKinnie caves, the more he's likely to make.

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

Despite Monday's free-agent visit, the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero finds it "hard to believe" the Dolphins have genuine interest in Bryant McKinnie.

McKinnie is going on age 34 with character and work ethic concerns, and doesn't fit the Joe Philbin mold. Salguero suspects the Fins are using McKinnie to either create leverage in Branden Albert trade talks with the Chiefs, or in contract discussions with free agent Eric Winston. Giving off the impression they're interested in McKinnie makes Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland look less desperate.

Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome acknowledged the team's left tackle situation remains "fluid."

The Ravens have shown little urgency about retaining free agent Bryant McKinnie, who visited the Dolphins on Monday and is headed to San Diego on Tuesday night. "It’s so fluid," said Newsome. "We don’t know, and I’m going to knock on wood. Up until we get this 53-man squad together before we have to get ready to play Denver, this is going to be a very fluid situation."

Free agent LT Bryant McKinnie will visit the Chargers on Tuesday.

McKinnie, 33, didn't make a regular season start last season, but was inserted into the postseason lineup and played well. The Chargers trotted out UDFA Michael Harris nine times on Philip Rivers' blindside in 2012. Harris allowed ten sacks and 44 hurries. McKinnie would be a nice one-year stop-gap solution.

The Union-Tribune San Diego reports the Chargers have not scheduled a visit with free agent LT Bryant McKinnie.

The Chargers and McKinnie did talk on Monday and a visit could be set up any day now, but it hasn't happened to this point. The 33-year-old took a physical for the Dolphins on Monday, and the Ravens are said to be "very much in the mix" to re-sign McKinnie. He and Max Starks are the only two viable starting left tackles on the free-agent market not named Jared Gaither.

Bryant McKinnie - T - Ravens

In addition to Monday's Dolphins visit, free agent Bryant McKinnie has a meeting scheduled with the Chargers.

The Fins and Chargers both failed to emerge from the draft with a left tackle. McKinnie is going on age 34, but can still pass protect and would be a solid pickup for either team. The Ravens have also maintained interest in McKinnie.
